s the United States entered the 20th century, African Americans faced a new and challenging landscape. A mere thirty-five years after the abolition of slavery, the majority of African Americans had learned to read and hundreds were heading to colleges and universities to continue their studies. The 1900 Paris Exposition created by W.E.B. DuBois showcased the gains that African Americans had made since emancipation.
However, many of the freedoms gained during the era of reconstruction were beginning to disappear. It became more and more difficult for African Americans to vote; the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling made segregation the law of the land; and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camelia tried to reverse the successes of African Americans, sometimes using violence and lynching to strike fear in the African American community.
Many contributed to the debates on how best to secure and advance the rights of African Americans, but one of the major contributors was the educator Booker T. Washington. Washington, the leader of Tuskegee Institute, stated his views in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1895.

"My Antonia" is a novel by Willa Cather in 1918. The novel is about the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, making emphasis on the role of the women during that time. This excerpt mainly explains how despite their low resources, the girls learned from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers and makes a comparison of how they were even more interesting than the younger brothers and sisters who had advantages were not better than them. Which supports the theme that is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
